Gary Bellow

(1935-2000)

A Memorial of Memories

I know that there are many out there
grieving at the loss of a remarkable friend, others grieving the loss
of
someone who pressed forward with such energy and skill and passion the
things he believedin. Perhaps the web site will be a place for them to
share
and regroup.

For those working hard and
with imagination
and humor at the things Gary cared about, whether or not they know him
or of him, I hope these remembrances will be an encouragement to keep
going.

Gary Bellow, friend, mentor, teacher, and inspiration to
generations
of activist lawyers and advocates for justice for the poor, died April
13, 2000.

We offer these memories in honor of his achievements, his
humanity,
his energy, his vision and his moral and political clarity, and as our
pledge to carry on his struggle.

Gary's Law School Classmates have generously made possible
a more concrete
memorial, the Bellow Sacks Access to Civil Legal Services Project, an
ongoing
project which will apply the searching questions Gary always asked
about
the Legal Services movement, to the context of today's struggle for
access
to justice.
